CitiOS: Facilitating Infrastructural Development through Blockchain Technology & Autonomous IoT Devices
The needs of human race are endless but whenever some of them are met, it could lead to a drastic change in the life of humans. The basic needs of human that anyone must not be deprived off are food, shelter and clothing but what about the Internet and electricity in this modern age. Do they have any direct impact in making lives easier for all humans globally? What about the health sector where many lose their lives just because of inadequate medical equipments and facilities and also human resources.
In order to combat underdevopments in many countries around the world, the United Nations (UN) came up with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which is a development outline that governments especially in developing countries should focus on. But the sad reality is that, only few countries around the world have been able to meet up with these goals. However in all this, a blockchain platform named CitiOS is here to set off sustainable development goals in many cities across Africa. The project will provide structural health monitoring service and solar energy and many other things. With this project, there's a ray of hope for developing and underdeveloped countries globally because with CitiOS, there developments will be fast track and they will be able to compete with the developed nations.
CitiOS Street Lights
The bedrock of modern day industrialization is electricity and without it, we won't be able to achieve more. CitiOS has done a great job by gathering data across Africa and what they got to reliazed is that Africa has the lowest penetration of electricity. The unavailability of constant power supply in many cities, towns and villages across Africa has broadened many issues facing the continent. These issues include job loss and joblessness due to folding up of companies, reduction in tourism and all these lead to stunted economic growth with direct impact on people's lives. But by making use alternative source of energy like solar energy which is also a very clean source of energy, CitiOS will be able to provide electricity to where it is needed when it which will have direct impact in such society.
As it is now, CitiOS is optimistic that with sufficient supply of electricity, there will be a lot of job opportunities which will reduce the rate of crimes. Sufficient supply of electricity will revive moribund industries, improve security by providing streetlights and increase the rate of tourism.
Structural Health Monitoring
The reason why health care system is in a moribund conditions in many countries in Africa is because of the long term decays in global health sector. The need for structure health monitoring system which is one of CitiOS product is because of its ability to detect issues related to health care facilities and its ability to offer solutions to fix them within a short period of time.
CitiOS works on this process by making use of autonomous IoT devices in structural health monitoring and this will help in increasing the information-packed platform which compile and analyze data about the health care sector. Whenever it found fault in any health care facility, they will either be replace or repair and with this, many lives will be saved.
CitiOS Project Framework
CitiOS as a project is built on blockchain technology and by making this decentralized technology to be its core tech, facilitating transactions in real-time will be more easy, there won't be any need for third-party intermediaries and everything will be transparent. Apart from the blockchain ecosystem, there is also a P2P data exchange where data gathered can be share among members in a transparent environment. There is also availability of autonomous IoT and this easily function with the MESH network without having to rely on a centralized server. Last but not the least, CitiOS is built with real-time H2M and M2M Micropayment networks which makes transactions within its ecosystem to be free of issues and low transactions fees.
Conclusion
The propositions of CitiOS is highly amazing and it have the potential to change the world for better. From the healthcare sector to electricity and to building of infrastructure that have direct positive impact on people, the project will go a long way in impacting peoples especially in Africa positively. My advice for Africa countries which is the target of CitiOS is to start to be making well calculated efforts in integrating their blockchain technology into their system so that they could benefit immensely from the propositions of CitiOS.
